György Enyedi (August 25, 1930 – September 10, 2012) was an economist and geographer who has played a major role in the long-term development of regional science. In the second part of the 20th century due to the rapid development of integrative spatial sciences, regional science became an independent discipline - György Enyedi is a decisive figure in this process.

Scientific career

His first studies during the 60’s in agricultural and rural typology revealed the negative consequences of the transformation of the Hungarian settlement system with the social and economic inequalities of rural space. He continued his research career on international scale.

He was the leader of a world wide comparative research team of the International Geographical Union, studying the development of rural space between 1972 and 1984. Until today he has led a high number of international research projects. In 1984 he founded the Centre for Regional Studies of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Today the Centre is the leading organization of Hungarian regional science with a staff of one hundred researchers in four institutes, with a profile of analyses of European and Hungarian regional development.

gollark: It also produces nice not-actually-static-exactly binaries, which is useful for purposes.

gollark: Anyway, Nim:- is reasonably fast (even if certain libraries are beelike)- has nice syntax- has decent library existence- is able to bind to C stuff, which I have actually used in this because cmark-gfm is very fast- is fairly pleasant to write- has cool metaprogramming- has a compiler which mostly runs bearably fastthus I am using it.

gollark: `openring`, that is, which generates the "from other blogs" bit on my website.

gollark: Also, in the past I had to write about three lines of code to make a Go project faster, because despite Go's main thing being parallelism the authors did not bother to parallelize it despite it being trivially possible to do so.

gollark: Well, in my foolish youth I actually did use it a decent bit. I also used Apple products and was excited about Windows 10, so something.
